True geeks make their own gear. That’s right, I said it. From homemade cosplay outfits to scale models of the Millennium Falcon, real science fiction and fantasy geeks take pride in making their own homages to their favorite movies, television shows and comics. Some of us fans, however, aren’t all that skilled in the creative department….
Brave New World is an iconic science fiction novel written in 1932 by Aldous Huxley. It’s largely considered one of the best books of all time. Now it’s up to Steven Spielberg’s production company, Amblin Television, to do it justice on the small screen. Now, brace yourself, because it will be adapted for the Syfy…
Anderson Entertainment recently announced that they will be going forward with a second new audio series of Terrahawks, the 1983 cult TV series by Gerry Anderson and Christopher Burr. Teaming up with Big Finish Productions, Ltd., Anderson Entertainment will produce eight brand new episodes of Terrahawks. Big Finish Productions is best known for their audio play adaptations…
Last year we followed a relatively new but highly successful event, the Philip K. Dick Science Fiction Film Festival, as it made its third return to New York City. The sold-out festival featured some great films, including Nightmare Code starring The Walking Dead‘s Andrew J. West and Inverse by filmmaker Matt Duggan, both of which come highly recommended…
Andy and Lana Wachowski have something brewing for Netflix this summer. The sibling duo just released the first trailer for their series, Sense8, created alongside writer J. Michael Straczynski. Check it out! The show features eight people across the world dealing with the fact that they are now closely in tune with one another. Mentally…
This topic is a potential minefield to navigate, yet it is one that keeps cropping up on the internet the more and more I search. I recently went to the Science Museum in central London. As a kid, this was one of my favorite museums (the Geological was a close second—it had an earthquake machine!),…
In science fiction, there have always been battles, but the scandal during this year’s Hugo Awards, is not the kind fans want to see. These awards recognize achievements in science fiction literature as well as artistry and fan categories. It’s a big deal within the community, and it looks great to everyone that may not…
Anything Google can do, Facebook can do better. So thinks Mark Zuckerberg the billionaire founder of the definitive social media platform. To give Zuckerberg his due, pretty much everything that’s introduced on Facebook gets used by the 1.393 billion active users (figures accurate as of February 28th 2015). Spherical video will be another fun addition…
The term “event” in comic books means a massive plotline that affects everything in the aforementioned comic book universe. The Final Crisis DC event was a game-changer because heroes died. Not the “come back to life next issue” deaths comic books are infamous for. They actually died. People were erased from existence. An entire universe,…
Gundams. Giant robots. War. People who have no business piloting million-dollar war machines. War. The Gundam franchise asks simple questions: what would war on an interplanetary scale look like? What happens when the giant robots replace the common soldier as instruments of destruction? Just where is the point where ultra-violence becomes overkill? The answer to all these…
At least for me personally, it’s been a huge surprise that The CW has managed to take on the realm of DC Comics so well. We’ve seen comic representations fail hard on the small screen and big screen and on networks with hefty budgets, so we know that bringing well-loved action characters to life isn’t…
Rumor mills are always irritating, mostly because of that first word. However, it seems this time the rumors were correct and Fox is making another Alien film starring Sigourney Weaver as Flight Lt. Ellen Ripley. Neill Blomkamp (famous for giving us District 9 and Elysium) met Weaver whilst they were filming Chappie and, according to Weaver, he started talking…
